The artist Andrew Wyeth passed away a few days ago. One of his
paintings, entitled "Soaring," is at the Shelbourne Museum in Vermont
(where I understand there is an S-scale layout, which somehow I missed
in my visit there). The 1942 tempera painting depicts birds encircling
a house far below. It is said to represent the aerial attacks on
civilian areas that were occurring in Europe at the time.
Andrew's father, the artist N C Wyeth, didn't think much of his son's
effort. Instead, he flipped over the 48" x 87" work and used it as a
model train layout.
